Bristol City prepare to entertain Bradford City at Ashton Gate on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 8 of the 16 previous games, with the Robins winning just 6.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate was less than a year ago, in January 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.
